There are long-running TV exhibits, after which there’s Gray’s Anatomy. The beloved medical drama is at the moment within the midst of its whopping nineteenth season on ABC, and it’s already been renewed for one more. However there’s been some current casting shake-ups not too long ago, together with Ellen Pompeo’s departure. And Gray’s vet Kelly McCreary has opened up about how she feels forward of her exit from the present as Maggie Pierce.
Actress Kelly McCreary made her debut as Maggie Pierce again in Season 10 of Gray’s. The genius Cardio god was later revealed to be the key daughter of Richard Webber and Ellis Gray, making her Meredith’s half-sister. However we’re going to be saying goodbye to Dr. Pierce after this season, with the 41 year-old actress talking with Folks about her emotions main as much as this departure. As she shared:
It is a whirlwind. Truthfully, the weirdest factor occurs. I stand on units and I flashback to the very first time I used to be ever on that set and it is an actual journey. I can scent the smells and see the brilliant lights and I keep in mind each element of issues I have not considered in 9 years.
I imply, are you able to blame her? Whereas Maggie isn’t a Gray’s Anatomy OG, McCreary has been part of the solid for practically a decade. And with each her character and Meredith exiting across the identical time, it appears to be like like there’ll actually be no Gray members of the family within the medical drama for the very first time. Though Ellen Pompeo is presumably going to proceed to offer her signature narration for the present.
Having yet one more main character depart Gray’s so shortly is certain to be an adjustment for the numerous followers on the market. Whereas we’ve seen the return of beloved characters like Kate Walsh’s Addison Montgomery, there’s been far more focus given to the brand new class of interns, together with McDreamy’s nephew Dr. Adams. And followers are little doubt going to overlook the Gray sisters, together with Maggie. Later in her identical interview, McCreary additional defined how she’s feeling about leaving the present (alongside showrunner Krista Vernoff), saying:
Each second is an enormous second and it feels good to have the ability to take inventory of one thing in your life like that. It is good.
Narratively, it ought to be fascinating to see precisely how Maggie Pierce finally ends up leaving Gray Sloan Memorial Hospital. Her household (each chosen and blood) are positioned in Seattle. Maybe it’ll must do together with her relationship with Anthony Hill’s Dr. Winston Ndugu. They’ve been having a bumpy highway this season, and there’s been no indicators of issues wanting up. Will she depart Seattle within the midst of a break-up? Solely time will inform.
Then once more, Ellen Pompeo’s exit as Meredith may create the proper macguffin for Dr. Pierce to additionally depart Gray Sloan Memorial. Maybe the rationale she leaves it so simple as desirous to be together with her sister and the three youngsters. In spite of everything, she understands Zola’s genius in a means that nobody else does.
